Met Eireann: St Patrick's Day is going to be freezing

Met Eireann

According to Met Eireann St Patrick's weekend is going to be a tad on the Baltic side.

Here's what they have to say on the current forecast:

"St. Patrick's weekend will be very cold. St. Patrick's Day will be dry in many areas, with bright spells, but scattered snow showers will occur, mainly in eastern coastal counties and along the south coast.

"Breezy, with moderate to fresh easterly winds. Max. temperatures will range from just 1 or 2 degrees in the north and east to 5 or 6 along west and southwest coasts. Saturday night will be very cold and frosty, with scattered snow showers in the eastern half of the country, but mainly dry elsewhere."

And, eh, Sunday isn't looking much better either unfortunately.

"Still very cold, with scattered snow showers, most of them in Leinster and the eastern half of Munster, but well scattered elsewhere, with sunny spells. Max. 1 to 4 Celsius. Very cold and frosty again on Sunday night, but mostly dry."
